Based at Steps Studios on Goswell Road, the academy will run three-hour sessions every Saturday from 9:15 am to 12:30 pm, offering young people…
Most fundraising events promise to change the world. Most of them also involve a sponsored silence or a sponsored run, which sounds suspiciously like actual effort. This one involves mascarpone.
Before you’ve even had time to wonder whether you can justify attending a two-day Italian food festival, The Longest Tiramisù has already banked over £3,000 for the Esharelife Foundation. No…
Right, you gorgeous lot. The days are stretching, the blossom is popping, and the cry of “Muuuum, I’m booooored” is about to reach a fever pitch. Fear not. I’ve waded through a mountain of press releases so you don’t have to. Here’s your curated, cheeky, and utterly brilliant guide to what’s hot in London this spring. Let’s get cracking.

At London Mums Magazine, our contributors come from all walks of life, offering honest perspectives on theatre, cinema, restaurants and more. On Wednesday 11 March 2026, we attended the Marylebone Theatre to review Yentl. The review was a shared experience between myself, Ranjeet Panesar (48), and Verena McCarthy (86). What follows are Verena’s reflections on the production.

There are some press events you attend, take a few notes, nod appreciatively, and file away for later. And then there are events that genuinely stop you in your tracks and make you rethink your entire relationship with creativity. The Cricut launch on 26th February 2026 was very much the latter.

And the best…
Right, gather round, gals. If, like me, you spent the better part of last weekend trying to find an activity that doesn’t involve stepping on a stray piece of Lego or wiping sticky fingerprints off the walls, I do have the tip for you.
We packed up the brood and headed to the Affordable Art Fair recently, and honestly? It was an absolute tonic. I’d almost forgotten what fresh air…
On another characteristically wet London afternoon, London Mums Magazine was invited to step inside the magic of the latest Mundo Pixar Experience. Located on Fulton Road in Wembley, the venue offered a warm escape from the February drizzle, greeting us with a champagne reception, sweet treats, and friendly organisers eager to guide us through.

Some events are nice to attend… and then there are the ones you just know people will still be talking about years later. And this spring, London is about to host one of the sweetest, most joyful (and slightly bonkers) community celebrations we’ve seen in years: The Longest Tiramisù in the World – a Guinness World Record attempt that is as much about people as it is about pudding.

I went to seeMoulin Rouge! Il Musicalat the Sistina Chapiteau in Rome on 1 February 2026 with my dear friend Donatella, and let me tell you, it was pure, unadulterated magic from start to finish. Goosebumps. Hair-on-end. The kind of night where you can’t stop smiling, singing along (yes, we were those people), and feeling completely transported.
First of all, the venue…
